About the GSB Women's Community

The Stanford GSB's goal is to distinguish Stanford as a place where female students and alumnae are encouraged and supported consistently throughout their business careers. GSB alumnae and staff have formed the Women's Initiative Network (WIN) to work toward these common goals. WIN will offer programs and resources which provide support and development opportunities for women who aspire to serve as leaders in business, their families and in their communities.

The Current Focus of WIN

• Admissions - Increase the pool of talented women interested in attending business school
  and make Stanford Graduate School of Business their first choice.
• GSB Student Life - Improve GSB students' awareness of career issues and how to address these issues. Offer opportunities to meet alumnae.
• GSB Case and Curriculum Development - Increase the number of women featured in case studies and as class speakers. Work to eliminate gender bias in curriculum.
• Alumni Outreach-Transitions: Develop tools, content and networks to help support GSB students and alumnae through life and career transitions.
• Alumnae Outreach-Networking - Provide pragmatic, application focused leadership programs. Support development of alumnae networking skills. Develop Class Captain Network.
• Women on Corporate Boards - Increase the number of GSB alumnae serving on corporate boards and provide guidance and resources to those wishing to enhance their qualifications for board services.
• Career - Provide women students access to alumnae mentors by industry. Initial industry focus is Finance.
• Website - Provide a information for women alumna and students to share
  and develop ideas, knowledge and best practice experiences.
